Never mind that Facebook keeps taking heat over their Beacon announcements in the newsfeeds, it seems that MySpace still thinks it’s a good idea to follow their closest competitor’s lead. According to numerous sites, such as Marketing Pilgrim, MySpace will soon be launching “Friends Updates” which will clutter up your home page even more.
I’m not sure why MySpace feels the need to play follow-the-leader with their second place competition, but they are for whatever reason. Add on top of this that MySpace has zero design sense, this will probably turn in to an even uglier mess than the site already is. Not much you can do though as it is still the number one social site out there.
